C'est dans la langue de Rabelais que M. Charles De Coster a écrit ses Légendes flamandes. Ces sortes de pastiches demandent beaucoup d'étude, une connaissance approfondie du vieux langage français, aux diverses époques, pour ne pas confondre l'une avec l'autre, et une sorte de familiarité de longe date avec les écrivains de ces temps là. En ces labyrinthes philologiques il est facile d'errer. Balzac, dans ses Contes drôlatiques, commet à chaque instant des fautes graves et montre qu'il connaît assez mal la langue et l'orthographe anciennes qu'il a prétendu reproduire.

Basé sur la figure littéraire de Till l'Espiègle, il raconte les aventures allégoriques du farceur flamand, Thyl Ulenspiegel, juste avant et pendant la révolte néerlandaise contre la domination espagnole des Pays-Bas.

Domburg est un petit bourg bâti sur la côte occidentale de l'île de Walcheren. Il fut entre tous ses frères, les villages de Zélande, si éprouvés par les mouvements de terrain et les inondations, l'un des plus infortunés et des plus éprouvés. Un horrible incendie le dévora un jour tout entier ; à peine renaissait-il de ses cendres que la mer se rua sur lui et engloutit la moitié de ses maisons : elles dorment maintenant sous le sable ; Domburg alors fit retraite derrière les dunes et là fut de nouveau rebâti ; ce que l'on voyait de lui en mil huit cent cinquante-sept, c'étaient de coquettes habitations de briques alignées dans une longue grande rue et dont les portes, les volets, les montants et les traverses des croisées sont peints pittoresquement en gris, en vert et en rouge...

This is my first book, and I have written this book with energies from the universe and blessings of Maa. Herein I have written my own experiences in a simple language, and this is a very pure book for me. My purpose of writing this book is to bring more and more people toward spirituality. I am a very simple person; if I can go on the path of spirituality, then anyone can. All of us have problems in life. We should not run from them or go here and there or even ask other people to solve them, but we should ourselves move toward spirituality, sit for meditation, and pray to God to help us solve these problems. If we do so, our problems will be solved automatically. I hope you all will like My Journey to Spiritual Healing, so I can get encouraged to write the next book.

With a "ghostly torch" passed down from Lafcadio Hearn, Davisson, accomplished author, translator, and folklorist delves into the depths of Japanese folklore to unearth 100 of the most bizarre and haunting creatures to ever grace myth and legend. In this book you'll encounter a vast range of mysterious beings, from malevolent demons and chilling monsters to spectral ghosts and enchanted beasts. Davisson skillfully navigates the elusive realm of Yokai, shedding light on their mysteries and revealing their significance to the cultural tapestry of Japan. Featuring iconic Yokai such as the enigmatic Amabie, the endearing Tofu Kozo, and the pitiful Kyokotsu, alongside lesser-known entities like the repulsive Akaname and the never before catalogued Kaiju, this book offers a comprehensive exploration of Japan's supernatural pantheon. Modern Yokai art by esteemed artists such as Lili Chin, Emi Lenox, and Peach Momoko breathe new life into the age-old legends shared within. Illustrated with over 250 color woodblock prints and paintings, and packed with interesting facts and entertaining stories, this book transports readers into a realm where the line between myth and reality blurs.
